摘要
A semiconducting microbolometer sensor for detecting electromagnetic waves in the medium wavelength infrared (MWIR) and long-wavelength infrared (LWIR) is provided. A preferred embodiment provides a substrate layer, a bottom and top support structure with a strut-based mesh design, a meandered electrode layer that follows the top support structure design, a bolometer sensing material with a high TCR, and a disk-shaped absorber on top of the sensing material to maximize the heat flux absorption on the sensor. The bottom support of the sensor suspends the top support mesh, creating an air cavity. This air cavity along with the strut based mesh design and optimized thickness, dimension and shape of the layers contributed towards minimizing the thermal conductance of microbolometer and hence improved the figures of merits—responsivity, detectivity, noise equivalent power and noise equivalent temperature difference of microbolometer.
